What an ArduPilot message means and what to do about it

Українська

The board's name and the processor's unique ID

InformationStart-up and what the board reports

The first word is the board this firmware was built for, the same name as in the firmware file: MatekH743-bdshot, CubeOrange. A suffix such as “-bdshot” is a variant of the same board with bidirectional DShot. The three groups of eight hexadecimal digits are the processor's unique ID, 96 bits set at the factory, never changing and different on every chip: they tell two boards of the same model apart.

What to do, most likely first

  1. The name is not your board's: a firmware for a similar board was loaded.

    CheckCompare it with the name printed on the board and in its documentation.

    FixLoad the firmware made for your exact board. A wrong one can leave sensors, outputs or serial ports on the wrong pins.

Written here for Copter 4.6. In the tool you choose your vehicle and version, see your own parameter values beside the ones named here, and drop a flight log to have every message in it explained.
